No, not really. At the moment I am assuming it is a bug in something somewhere. The versions of php and MySQL that I am using are not fully tested. Therefore it is entirely possible that the problem I had is not supposed to be a problem. > 1) How are you connecting using mysql_connect()?

I am not sure how to determine these things, except to say that I am using MySQL as it was installed by the "Typical" installation option. Oh, now I understand better. Sorry. The username "admin" confused me, but I should have known. There is a slight chance I used a different host than "localhost". So to be absolutely sure, I will do the tests again when I make a fomal bug report, assuming that a bug report is needed. Other than that, I used the following for both my Administrator and my non-Administrator accounts: <?php $location = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = ""; $database = "mysql"; $conn = mysql_connect($location, $username, $password); if (!$conn) die ("<p>Could not connect to MySQL using $location, $username, $password</p>\n"); print "<p>Connected to MySQL using $location, $username, $password</p>\n"; mysql_select_db($database, $conn) or die ("<p>Could not open database</p>\n"); print "<p>Database $database selected.</p>\n"; ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
